Great Blue Heron

(Ardea herodias)

Where: Myrtle Beach, SC • Huntington Beach State Park

Notes: I thought I had missed the opportunity to photograph this magnificent bird when I ran out of time the day before I took this picture. But, the next day it returned to the same general area to fish in the shallow pools the low tide had exposed along the salt marsh side of the causeway entering Huntington Beach State Park, SC.
